Polymers for intricate components

Sept. 21, 2012
Victrex 90-Series high flow PEEK polymers, for thin-walled, intricate components, offer higher mechanical properties with improvements in modulus, toughness, and coefficient of thermal expansion.

Victrex 90-Series high flow PEEK polymers, for thin-walled, intricate components, offer higher mechanical properties with improvements in modulus, toughness, and coefficient of thermal expansion. Available in unfilled and in carbon and glass-filled grades, the polymers facilitate the replacement of metals, thermosets, and ceramics. They reduce weight by up to 80% and improve reliability through their thermal and mechanical properties.

The polymers outperform materials like liquid-crystal polymers, polyphenylenesulfides, and ceramics due to their enhanced mechanical properties and toughness.
